Table 2.

Overall positional nystagmus prevalence with different positional nystagmus criteria

Positional nystagmus criteria n (%) CI
Minimum of 5 nystagmus beats in 5 consecutive seconds 55 (70.5) [0.60;0.81]
Minimum of 3 nystagmus beats in 5 consecutive seconds 71 (91.0) [0.85;0.97]

Minimum of 1 nystagmus beat

during the total observation time

*Truncated from 1.01

Please note that the upper CI-value of “Minimum of 3 nystagmus beats in 5 consecutive seconds” is higher than the lower CI-value of “Minimum of 1 nystagmus beat during the total observation time”, indicating a possibility of the true value being the same for these criteria
